I'm assuming that any consultant on our on-call list would have reflectorless capability. With that I can't think of an example of a sign that would be inaccessible.?ÿ
Breast Height is a common arborist term.?ÿ
Does Oklahoma law allow for good and sloppy property line determinations?
?ÿ
Determination of individual property lines to a degree of precision appropriate to the project needs.
Duly noted.?ÿ
My technical writing hasn't been exposed to too much arboist lingo, however I had a roomate that was one, and he ended up moving to NZ to become the Wellington Chief arborist.?ÿ
I'd like to demand a control report with datum statement, point map, coordinate list, data sheets, and full LS report. ODOT requires such a thing.?ÿ I think that might be going a bit too far at this time. But you might be surprised by how many consultants remove their control from their CAD files. So just making sure it's in there is a step.?ÿ As a matter of fact, you might be surprised how many consultants fail to deliver a CAD file at all, even when it is part of their contractual obligation to do so, and how many project managers fail to follow up on that.?ÿ
If the CAD file is properly segregated by layers the control points will all be on one layer, the boundary points on another, etc. That makes isolating and extracting any particular type of point a breeze.?ÿ If it is uniformly point numbered or coded, a point group can be set up to isolate it.?ÿ
CAD file organization is stuff we will deal with at consultant roster selection time. For those of you that might be on the roster now be warned that I'm looking at the guts of your work products and making mental notes.?ÿ?ÿ
Point of fact - Oklahoma law considers +/-1.5 feet to be acceptable accuracy for certain classes of boundary lines so yes, it does.?ÿ
In spite of my nom de plume I operate under Oregon law these days. Oregon law requires me to set monuments to a high degree of precision; regardless of whether the property is urban, suburban, or rural; but it does not require that I show every property line shown on a topo map to be determined to the last hundredth.?ÿ ?ÿ?ÿ
One-call Oregon is required to mark for survey by state law
That must be nice.?ÿ They usually won't come out for survey, just excavation
By Oregon law they have 10 days to mark for survey, 48 hrs to mark for excavation deeper than 1 foot. So if you are going to be driving control monuments longer than 1 foot in the course of your survey that qualifies for 48 hr. service. And yes, they insist that we need to call for that.?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ?ÿ
@norman-oklahoma wow. A county GIS shape file might be within 18 inches.
@jph Remember driving a 2' Rebar into the ground counts as excavation, at least in NC it does.
In Oregon, not following the right-of-entry notification process can result in a complaint to the Board of Registration, with potential of suspension or even loss of license.
Board bulletins recently have examples of investigations of non-compliance with right-of-entry notification. It's a big deal 'round here.
There is some question in my mind whether Right of Entry under ORS 672.047 applies to topographic mapping projects. But certainly the surveyor who enters land to do only topo without notifying is going to be subject to its discipline. ?ÿ
